obama in her box in the house chamber. norah o'donnell we're just a little over two weeks away from these enormous automatic across-the-board federal spending cuts that are known in washington parlance as sequestration. but it's $1.2 trillion in cuts over the next ten years. they're automatic. the idea behind this with the budget control act of 2011 was to make these cuts so ruinous that they would force the president and the congress to come together and find a better way and they haven't. a little over two weeksing to go before those spending cuts take effect. how do you see this playing out? >> o'donnell: a white house official told me tonight they are more optimistic this week than they were last week that they would get something done. but your conversation with speaker boehner goes right to the heart of it. when he said the president doesn't have the guts to take on his own party. because what the issue is what the republicans want is the president to raise the medicare eligibility age. but, look, we're facing job lo

this.be very blunt about barack obama had taken that position. the reality was, they saw it as another backdoor attempt -- and jim webb put it on the record. another attempt at the administration of george h.w. bush and donald rumsfeld, and dick cheney to say we now have a reason to go to war. that was the first time that we have ever single out any entity in any other country as a terrorist organization, a part of the government. we have to single them out. >> one-third of the senate voted for that position. >> let me ask you, it is the irg a terrorist organization or not? >> do not know if they are a terrorist organization. >> let him finish the answer. >> i do know this, what it was politically and realistically, was it an attempt to give more strength to an administration that had taken us into a war, which has been a disaster, which has left the united states even more isolated in the world, and has strengthened iran? because of the invasion and occupation in iraq, iran is a more dominant and influential and stronger foe in the world. >> imm

let's look at another thing that president obama talked about the other night. he's talking about raising the minimum wage to $9 an hour by the year 2000 fennel, when five years ago, he promised that he would push for an increase in the minimum wage to nine and a half dollars by two years ago. so what's happened? we've seen since 1968, a decrease by 30%, 30 million people making about 50% less now when adjusted for inflation when c.e.o. compensation averages more than 900% more. that impacts every single one of us. when the minimum wage was raised we'd have $30 billion more a year in consumer spending creating more jobs, a more thriving middle class like we saw in this country for 35 years. cenk: you're right on the policies. if we continued minimum wage, kept up with inflation it would be $10.55 and in you we have a president bragging for asking for $9. write right now, to that point though, do you think the president just thinks i can't get anything done, i have to keep lowering my expectations and that's the problem with the president or do you think he's in
